Claire Danes shows off faux bob at last night's Emmy Awards

Claire Danes showed off the cheat's way to achieving a new hair-do with her 'faux bob' at the Emmy Awards

The Homeland actress (who left a winner of the Best Actress category for her role as Carrie Mathison) arrived at the Emmy Awards last night showing off what looked like a hefty haircut, as her mid-length locks appeared to have been given the chop in favour of a chic and sleek bob.

However, despite speculation that she'd transformed her hair, she revealed to People's Jen Garcia that it was in fact a faux bob.

As many tweeted on the night, if Claire Danes' bob isn't real, it should be. We love the sleek forties-inspired look which frames Danes' face rather beautifully. She kept her makeup simple, wearing Laura Mercier and opting for a bright red lip as the central feature. The look worked perfectly with her gorgeous off-the-runway Giorgio Armani Privé couture dress, which featured a mighty plunge neckline, low back and embellished detail.

But the mystery remains - just how did she achieve that faux bob? Check out the video below to achieve the look!
